Our Model

We have developed a multi-dimensional model to assess plug-and-play interoperability across five main levers.

How connected, secure and resilient is your health system’s infrastructure?

Is the information your health system needs to exchange formatted to meet your needs?

Do the places that send and receive your data speak the same language?

Is information exchange sequenced to meet your needs?

Do your information exchanges enable safety and optimal decisions?

Interoperability Maturity Model

The answers to these questions may differ by device, system or clinical area – typically the interoperability of a hospital is uneven across its many domains, creating its own unique challenges.

Interoperability is not a specific state, but rather a continuum, ranging from complete inability to share data to the fluid exchange of information. Our model identifies three levels of interoperability – basic, intermediate and advanced.

Our lab will design solutions that aim to advance each of these levers, driving plug-and-play interoperability across the whole system.

About the Center

The Center for Medical Interoperability is a 501(c)(3) cooperative research and development lab founded by health systems to simplify and advance data sharing among medical technologies and systems. We provide a centralized, vendor-neutral approach to performing technical work that enables person-centered care, testing and certifying devices and systems, and promoting the adoption of scalable solutions.
